Colin is joined by John Middlekauff, host of “3 and Out” and “Go Low” to break down Scottie Scheffler’s win at the Open Championship!

They begin by comparing Scheffler to Tiger Woods and Colin argues that if they played in the same era, Scottie would be Mickelson and not Tiger (3:30). They dissect Scottie’s rant from earlier in the week about not being fulfilled by winning and explain why he’s more about the process rather than the result (7:00).

They discuss why Scheffler isn’t comfortable with the celebrity that comes with his #1 status vs. Bryson DeChambeau who seeks the spotlight (11:30). They debate whether we’ve officially entered the “Scheffler” era of golf and whether other top golfers like Rory McIlroy and Dechambeau can elevate to match him (19:30).  They break down the economics of modern golf vs. earlier eras and why golfers will age better than in prior eras (23:00). 

They pivot to football and discuss the rumors that Nick Saban may return to coaching but why it will be the NFL, and debate the best potential landing spots for Saban (31:30. They also examine the SEC quarterback landscape and Arch Manning’s prospects(36:00). 

The move to the WNBA players making their  CBA negotiation a public dispute with their t-shirts and debate whether the players have the leverage to demand a raise (42:00).  They discuss the pairing of FOX Sports and Barstool, why the partnership makes perfect sense, and why FOX needs to let Barstool be Barstool (1:01:00). 

Finally, they discuss the cancellation of Late Night with Stephen Colbert and why the injection of partisan politics into media has been bad for content and the country (1:14:00).
